Have you ever
Felt like you were mourning
Over yourself
Have you ever
Convinced yourself that
It's all downhill from here
Yeah, it's over
As the water fills my lungs
The voice in my head
It speaks in tongues
And what it says to
Me
Is: "Boy, you've gotta come clean
About everything"
I've been sinking
And drifting
Away from the surface
And I'm thinking
Of things to say
What's my purpose
I close my eyes
And picture all the people
I've wronged
I know they
Despise me
For all the right reasons
They had all along
I remember
All those things I said when
I was a kid
I was hurtful
I had bad intentions
Now I play scenarios again
In my head
As the waiter fills my cup
I say "Thank you, sir
But, I've had enough"
And what he says to
Me
Is: "Boy, you've got to come clean
About everything"
I've been sinking
I'm drifting
Away from the surface
And thinking
Of things to say
What's my purpose
I close my eyes
And picture all the people
I've wronged
I know they
Despise me
For all the right reasons
They had all along
